January 09

We can't believe that this month is practically over, and February is almost here. The time has flown by. Andrew has had a change in his work schedule which has made our schedules pretty much the opposite of each other (Kate has classes/clinicals during the day and Andrew is working afternoon shift usually). The new schedule allows two ES supervisors to be working at the same time, so it is nice that they can interact and hang out with the men more then they were able to before. Kate is enjoying her new semester. It is keeping her super busy! She is in her Med/Surg clinicals at the hospital, taking care of progressive care patients (its a step down from ICU and a step above a regular adult medical/surgical floor). They are really sick patients, but she is learning SO much from them and able to do so many more things than before. This week she had her own patient for the first time this semester and really enjoyed helping the patient and meeting their needs. Andrew has also been preparing for the Biblical Counseling Confrence (in Lafeyette, IN) that is coming up February 8-13. He is reading a book called How People Change, by Paul Tripp, to help get ready for the confrence. Please pray for him that week as he learns and is challenged to grow. This conference is something we can be doing now to help us with present and FUTURE ministry opportunities.

Hope you have had a GREAT January and not too much snow :)
